I have a similar problem - I can't stop samba.

I've completely deleted the service from the Xbian settings 'Services' menu - still runs.
I've tried to stop it starting with inetd with the wiki info:
sudo update-inetd --disable netbios-ssn
sudo update-inetd --disable microsoft-ds
Still runs.
Commented out run mode in /etc/default/samba
Still runs.
No matter what I do I always get instances of /usr/sbin/smbd -D in ps aux (and nmbd too).

This is causing an issue because I don't want a samba server running on this machine - it is a client not a server (RPi 3b+).
Leaving this server running means the servers log is flooding with e.g
Jun 22 14:52:50 jacinda nmbd[767]: This response was from IP 192.168.1.96, reporting an IP address of 192.168.1.96.
Jun 22 14:52:50 jacinda nmbd[767]: query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet 192.168.1.254 for name WORKGROUP<1d>.
Jun 22 14:52:50 jacinda nmbd[767]: [2021/06/22 14:52:50.798169, 0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:109(query_name_response)

Any ideas anyone?

I don't know if this solves your problem, but an still unreleased commit in xbian-update does the following:

Code:

sudo update-rc.d -f nmbd remove >/dev/null 2>&1; sudo rm -f /etc/init.d/nmbd
sudo update-rc.d -f smbd remove >/dev/null 2>&1; sudo rm -f /etc/init.d/smbd

On my devel system neither nmbd nor smbd is running:

Terminal

root@kmxbilr2 ~ # pgrep smbd
root@kmxbilr2 ~ # pgrep nmbd
root@kmxbilr2 ~ #
